: : What if, at nationals only, you couldn't decline an offer from a choosing team? I'm completely in favor of it because:

: : It makes it much harder to wheel 'n deal to make the super (unfair) alliance

: : Also, it puts the top 8 te in a position to beam more successful, rather than putting the sub-8 teams in that position (if they feel a lower seed may be more compatible).

: : An unpopular opinion I suppose, but I like it for nationals. They could claim it teaches us how to handle "hostile take-overs." :-Dan

: I like it! This would prevent all of the nasty deals that people have cooked up so far. There is no other good way of policing what many consider to be cheating!!

: As long as FIRST is in the mood for changing rules, this is a good one!

I like the No-Rejections idea but what if a team has found an issue that they cannot fix in time for the eliminations? (in the post-qualifiers "lunch" break)
i think that if a team were to reject an offer then they should be taking themselves out of the running, therefore the drafter can pick another team and a under-the-table deal with a lower seed is prevented.
just another $0.02,
Jonathan
